I quite enjoy this collection of songs. however, because there are two too many songs, that I enjoy nonetheless, I am going to have to claim that it is far inferior to...fill in the blank...say.. the collected works of Gavin Rosdale

also rich millet was right all those years ago when he referred to me as "grumpus". add to that dumb. I am dumber than Padma Lakshmi's left tit and hugh acheson's right eye brow. my soul is gone, never to return.
I have no albums, I've heard a few songs here and there, I've never really formed an opinion.
But I'm willing to take a hint from the universe: around the same time you asked this question on the blog, I received a text message from Sean Clark asking me the exact same question. What the fuck is that about?
Like the Creation, Damned, Red Krayola, and WAY too many others, the Small Faces body of work has been in a super fucked state for many, many years. Apparently, the surviving members didnt even receive royalties until a few years ago. So, there's been seemingly endless compilations on budget labels etc, and a mess of things for the casually curious (like me, for instance). I bought an 80's version of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake many years ago (literally the shittiest CD I've ever bought, it didn't even fucking come with any artwork, nothing! and the sound sucks, too- needless to say).
So, I didn't know that at the end of 2012, they started finally doing proper re-issues, and now they've put out a lavish box set that got a glowing review in Mojo. I went to look it up, and saw that the albums etc are there to be gotten. The box set is big $$$, so I'm gonna start small. But it's the first time the actual masters have been used since the 60's. It took five years to track down the tapes etc.
They've never come up before when we talk music, so I thought I'd ask.
I'm not surprized we've never talked about them. All those "smaller" 60s bands very rarely show up on my radar of concern if I'm being totally honest. I suppose I unconsciously look to you to cover that line of research. Meanwhile I have the blue note label covered if there are ever questions.d

Hey Tim, I've been meaning to ask, do you like The Small Faces?
I have no albums, I've heard a few songs here and there, I've never really formed an opinion.
But I'm willing to take a hint from the universe: around the same time you asked this question on the blog, I received a text message from Sean Clark asking me the exact same question. What the fuck is that about?
Maybe Sean and I read the same thing in Mojo? That could be perhaps likely.

trust me, it is not likely. that is for certain.

hey do you have gwen lemos' email address by any chance? we can't find it online--just her Facebutt page and we have a sweet imploration to send her.
Sorry, I don't. The only e-mail address I have is the old one from when she worked at Toast & Jam. Kate could contact her via Facebook, though.
Yeah I know. Was trying for something a bit more direct but it should do the job.
